Unreferenced date December 2009 William of Ware called the Doctor Fundatus flourished 1290&ndash 1305 was a Franciscan friar and theologian , born at Ware, Hertfordshire Ware in Hertfordshire . He almost certainly studied at Oxford University and lectured on the Sentences of Pierre Lombard there, but he is not listed among the Oxford masters. There is some evidence, but no certainty, that he also taught at the University of Paris , perhaps lecturing there too on the Sentences. He was known as the Doctor Fundatus established doctor and less commonly the Doctor Praeclarus very clear doctor . Only one work can reliably be attributed to him, a commentary on the Sentences which survives in many manuscripts only small parts have been edited, by the Franciscans of Quaracchi 1904 , and by A. Daniels 1909, 1913 , P. Muscat 1927 , J. M. Bissen 1927 , and L. H dl 1990 . William does not try to discuss every distinction, but concentrates on the topics he finds most important, devoting over 100 questions to book 1 and just 129 to the remaining three books. Among the theologians whose views William discusses are Henri de Gand , Godefroi de Fontaines , Giles of Rome , and Richard of Middleton . Traditionally William has been assumed to be the master of Duns Scotus . In a work on the immaculate conception c. 1373 Thomas Rossy refers to William as the Magister Scoti , as does Bartholomew Rinonico Bartolomeo da Pisa in his De conformitate vitae beati Francisci ad vitam domini Jesu of the late 1380s.

The Groans of the Britons lang la gemitus Britannorum ref In full Agitio ter consuli gemitus Britannorum ref is the name of the final appeal made by the Britons historical Britons to the Roman Empire Roman military for assistance against barbarian invasion. The appeal is first referenced in Gildas 6th century De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae Gildas account was later repeated in Bede s Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum . According to Gildas, the message was addressed to the general Flavius Aetius and requested his aid in defending formerly Roman Britain from the Picts and Scoti Scots . The collapsing Western Roman Empire had few military resources to spare during the period referred to as the Decline of the Roman Empire and the record is ambiguous on what the response to the appeal was, if any. According to Gildas and various later medieval sources, the failure of the Roman armies to secure the Britain led the Britons to invite Anglo Saxon mercenaries to the island, precipitating the Anglo Saxon settlement of Britain Anglo Saxon invasion . Message The message is recorded by Gildas in his De Excidio Britanniae , written in the second quarter of the sixth century, and much later repeated by Bede . According to these sources, it was as being a last ditch plea for assistance to Agitius , generally identified as Flavius Aetius Aetius , magister militum military leader of the Western Roman Empire , who spent most of the 440s fighting insurgents in Gaul and Hispania . The formerly Roman Britons had been beset by raids by the Picts and Scoti Scots from northern Britain, who were able to pillage far to the south after the Roman armies had Roman withdrawal from Britain withdrawn from the island some time before. The text describes Aetius as being consul for the third time, dating the message to the period between 446, when he held his third consulate, and 454, when he held his fourth. ref In Michael Lapidge and David Dumville , eds.

The historian Ammianus Marcellinus described it as a barbarica conspiratio that capitalized on a depleted military force in the province brought about by Magnentius losses of the Battle of Mursa Major after his unsuccessful bid to become emperor. The conspiracy In the winter of 367 , the Roman garrison on Hadrian s Wall rebelled, and allowed Picts from Caledonia to enter Britannia. Simultaneously, Attacotti , the Scoti Scotti from Hibernia , and Saxons from Germania , landed in coordinated and pre arranged waves on the island s mid western and south eastern borders, respectively. Franks and Saxons also landed in northern Gaul . These warbands managed to overwhelm nearly all of the loyal Roman outposts and settlements. The entire western and northern areas of Britannia were overwhelmed, the cities sacked and the civilian Romano British murdered, raped, or enslaved. Nectaridus , the Count of the Saxon Shore , was killed and the Dux Britanniarum , Fullofaudes , was either besieged or captured, the remaining loyal army units staying garrisoned inside southeastern cities. The areani or local agents whom the Romans paid to provide intelligence on barbarian movements seem to have betrayed their paymasters for bribes, making the attacks completely unexpected.

His relics were translation relics translated to the church at New Aberdour and his holy well lies nearby. Saint Drostan s day is July 11. Biography A Scottish abbot who flourished about A.D. 600. All that is known of him is found in the Breviarium Aberdonense and in the Book of Deer , a ninth century manuscript . now in the University Library of Cambridge, but these two accounts do not agree in every particular. He appears to have belonged to the royal family of the Scoti, his father s name being Cosgrach. Showing signs of a religious vocation he was entrusted at an early age to the care of St. Columba, who trained him and gave him the monastic habit. He accompanied that saint when he visited Aberdour in Buchan, about 45 miles from Aberdeen. The Pictish ruler of that country gave them the site of Deir, fourteen miles farther inland, where they established a monastery, and when St. Columba returned to Iona he left St. Drostan there as abbot of the new foundation. On the death of the Abbot of Dalquhongale Holywood some few years later, St. Drostan was chosen to succeed him. Afterwards, feeling called to a life of greater seclusion, he resigned his abbacy, went farther north, and became a hermit at Glenesk. Here his sanctity attracted the poor and needy, and many miracles are ascribed to him, including the restoration of sight to a priest named Symon.

An ounceland lang gd unga is a traditional Scotland Scottish land measurement. It was found in the West Scottish Highlands Highlands , and Hebrides . In Eastern Scotland, other measuring systems were used instead. It was equivalent to 20 pennyland s or one eighth of a markland Scots markland . Like those measurements, it is based on the rent paid, rather than the actual land area. It was also known as a tirung from Scottish Gaelic tir unga , or a dabhach same as daugh , which is a term of Picts Pictish origin, also used in the east of Scotland too, but for a different measurement. The ounceland is thought to be of Norsemen Norse origin, so it is possible that Norse ounceland and native systems dabhach were conflated in the west. Quotes William Forbes Skene Skene in Celtic Scotland says As soon as we cross the Grampian Mountains Scotland great chain of mountains separating the North Sea eastern from the Atlantic Ocean western waters , we find a different system equally uniform. The ploughgate s and oxgang s disappear, and in their place we find daugh dabhachs and pennyland s . The portion of land termed a dabhach is here also called a tirung or ounceland , and each dabhach contains 20 pennylands. The Rev. Dr Campbell of Broadford, Skye Broadford on the island of Skye said the system of land measure which prevailed in the Western Isles , and then took root in Argyll was neither Pictish nor Scoti Irish , but Norse. The unit was the ounce land, i.e. the extent of land which paid the rent of an ounce of silver . The word was borrowed by Gaelic and appears as unnsa . The land term was unga , e.g. Unganab in North Uist and in Tiree . It appears in the old charters as teroung , teiroung , &c.

Lehane lang ga Liath in is an uncommon Irish surname, typically from County Cork . Liath in is more frequently anglicized as Lane or Lyons surname Lyons . Most people with this surname derive from the ancient Munster kingdom of Crimthann mac Fidaig U Liath in , which was powerful in the early to mid 1st millennium, and one of the few important Irish kingdoms to have colonies in United Kingdom Britain , documented in both Irish and Wales Welsh sources see Byrne 2001 Corr in 2001 . Later U Liath in became politically marginalized when the E ganachta , or more specifically the descendants of Conall Corc , came to power although the rath they accepted from the new dynasty was the largest Byrne 2001 but remained relatively independent until disintegrating in the later Middle Ages . U Liath in was the sister kingdom of O Donovan U Fidgenti , and thus its people share common ancestry with the O Donovans, Michael Collins Irish leader Coile in s, and others. More distantly all are related to the historical E ganachta in the stricter sense, if not by common origins in Ireland then at least by nearly two millennia of alliances and intermarriage. The earliest documented ancestor of the U Liath in and U Fidgenti is the 3rd or 4th century D re Cerbba D ire Cearba , otherwise known as Maine Muncha n. According to a very early genealogy, in http www.ucc.ie celt published G105003 index.html Rawlinson B 502 , he was born in Mag Breg , County Meath , and so it is possible that the family was a late arrival to Munster.
